John Idzik was our V/P of Football Administrations, this is a major loss, he was the money man. He managed salaries and cap space in addition to sitting in on player personal meetings, for six years. Hope we've got a "next man up" for him, if not this one could really hurt.

I'm concerned because this defense could be ripped apart in the next 1-2 seasons. Sherman and Thomas may want to be the highest paid at their position. Browner could command high #2 money. Chancellor will want probowl type money... And then of course you will have to be prepared to give Wilson a huge contract...

People talk about the future being bright for the Seahawks, but can this team even maintain its level of talent?

In the FA era, no one can retain all of their players. That is why it is so important to draft well and replace the talent through that._________________

I would pay Sherm and ET first. They make our defense go. I see Browner being cut unless he will sign for a favourable contract. Kam is more replaceable than ET, but I see him getting a solid contract.

Russell Wilson isn't on the priority list right now. I also see him being very cooperative throughout his contract negotiations.

Not only building through the draft, but developing a system that allows the coaches to plug other players in and have them succeed in case guys leave or get injured._________________Consistent application beats complex programming.

I agree although if Browner was younger and didn't have the PED accusation i would make him more of a priority over Thomas since its hard to find guys his size who can be CB's.

We draft players that are a scheme fit and not always a fit for other teams, that's why we've been able to draft pro bowl caliber players late in the draft and other teams have passed on them.

Example: Bruce Irvin, everyone and their mothers called Pete & John crazy for drafting him 15th overall, but he was a scheme fit for this defense and he has worked out so far._________________....
